Hasbro's Black Series 6" Figure Line

[yojoebro82]

I have no doubt that these figures will all be rereleased with both minor and major package variations just like the 3 3/4" figures have been for decades. Not a chance they're going to be one-and-done with characters like Darht Vader or Boba Fett. I love it because if I miss something I'm fairly confident I'll see it again (currently I'm keeping my eyes open for a second chance at the 3 3/4" Starkiller).

 

Thanks for the youtube link to Yoda. Looks like I'll be picking him up.

Might have to wait for the Hoth Han and Luke to be single packed. Like Jabba, I just have no room for that big stuff. I'll take the ST Han though.

Will we ever get another Leia figure?

Will we ever get another Leia figure?

Yes, next year when the Boushh one comes out.

Yes, yes, yes and yes.. Although I am not digging the look of the TK bucket on Han, looks derpy..

I had hoped that they would be a bit more judicious with the variants and re-paints with this line since it is at a higher price point. I thought perhaps each figure would be a "definitive" version of that character.

But actually they've already done a re-release or variation of sorts with "Walgreens exclusive Prototype Boba Fett". While I love the figure, its essentially a re-painted version of the first Boba.

I'm pretty sure Vader, Luke and the troopers will be the "Snake Eyes" of this line.

 

BTW - Yoda looks pretty cool, I guess I'll overpay for what amounts to a "big" 3 3/4" figure.

I think we were all hoping for that. When we saw a flawless X-Wing Luke, Darth Maul, Sandtrooper, and a Han Solo with every accessory you could think of, it seemed like "Definitive" was what Hasbro was shooting for. But when they released a Bespin Luke with a non removable hand and a Jedi Luke with no robe, and you know they're going to include those at some point. Meaning you get to rebuy it.

 

That's the industry for you, I guess....

Anyone get any 6" Black figs from Walgreen's sale and if so have any problems with them not ringing up or having them adjust the price?

[angiedee]

All newer figures are in stock on hasbrotoyshop.com right now... Vader, Chewie, Jedi Luke, Sandtrooper... If anyone still needs them.

[JoeRhyno]

Yoda wave already being found.. wow, a whole year of Han and Leias and now we get 3 waves back to back.

Where?!

[jedimaster-c]

Someone on Rebelscum.com found the Yoda wave in Wisconsin.

[JoeRhyno]

Targets here in IL and I saw on Spawn boards and Yakface found at Target too.

 

 

 

 

The Toy buyer for Walgreens said the Yoda wave is on the way and should be in their stores in a month or so.

 

 

 

[yojoebro82]

Yoda. You seek Yoda.

 

That is right in my neck of the US. I might try going out this morning to see what I can see. Of course these things only ever find me by surprise and never when I purposely go hunting.

[jedimaster-c]

Found both the TIE fighter Pilot and Yoda at Target this morning.

[angiedee]

I went to a Target today... Han Solo, Obi-Wan and Slave Leia... That's it!

[Wheeljack35]

I still need Jedi Luke and a couple of Stormtroopers but am broke till friday

[yojoebro82]

Predictably there was no Yoda at the stores I visited but I did come away with 3 3/4" Starkiller, so that's cool.

[lazrod]

I'm glad the Yoda wave isn't a Walgreens exclusive since I have found a grand total of TWO Vaders at the multiple Walgreens i have gone hunting at.

I found tons of GOT figures; not just Tyrion but a wide assortment and Marvel Legends. I even found Assassins Creed figures, but Star Wars Black...

There has never been a Walgreens exclusive wave, just the Prototype Boba Fett figure. The last wave was found there first, but they have also been seen at Target, Walmart and hasbrotoyshop.com now.

[yojoebro82]

I had the TIE Pilot in had and at the register. He's cool but all the time I was thinking about how he breaks my self-imposed rule about "key characters only". IMO, TIE Pilot does not make that list.

 

I left him with the cashier at the last second.

That is some will power...

 

 

Damn... No $10 Amazon sale this year... Maybe Cyber Monday?...

I know how you feel.....I wait & wait but nothing so far on Amazon.....Last year I picked up some extra's for customs when they dropped the prices down SoLo.....I gave some away as Xmas gifts....it was the best of times, it was the blurst of times....cmon YJB mahhhn...haha the Tie Fighter Pilot is a thing of beauty....I was out on Saturday running down some garage sale action....found a few things so I made a sarlacc pit stop at Terget & the aftermath of the great sale of 14'...the restock was in full effect..so there was a fresh case of Chewie/Yoda/Tie Pilot....I hesitated not & boosted the economy I did.....murricah....

[yojoebro82]

Yes that TIE pilot is a thing of beauty from head to toe. Of course the action figure is the only way you would know that because all of his movie appearances consist of neck-up shots as he's hounding X-Wings in his cramped, TIE cockpit. That is why he does not rate a $20 figure in my book.

 

Also, I believe my 6" Dath Vader will stand out more if he's the only all black figure in my set up.

 

Don't worry, I have TIE Pilot in 3 3/4" form.

I thought they were supposed to go to Walgreens first? I guess that isn't really an "exclusive" wave.

Anyway my point was that; except for the two Vaders I bought at one Walgreens, I haven't seen any of the new figures (Vader, Jedi Luke, Chewbacca or even Anakin) anywhere. They have Black series figures at Target and Wal-Mart,but nothing new. The stores (Target, Wal-Mart) in my area still have wave 2 or 3 on the pegs. Walgreens has empty pegs and just doesn't put any Star Wars figures out.

Thank goodness for hasbrotoyshop.com and Amazon.
